KRISPY KREME TACOMA REVIEWS

As the President of our school’s PTSA, I can’t say enough great things about Krispy Kreme and their incredible team, especially Manager Kat. Every time we work with them for our Donuts with Grown-Ups event, they go above and beyond to support our school, generously donating a few dozen with every purchase we make.

The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. It’s clear they care about the community, and their positive attitudes make every visit a great experience. Whether you're grabbing a quick treat or organizing something bigger, you can always count on top-tier service and the best donuts in town.

When I came it was busy, but when it was my turn to order they didn't disappoint. My donuts came out really fast and I was able to pay for them without having to wait. Afterwards I ate at one of the tables inside and it wasn't the cleanest but you could tell they actually tried keeping it clean constantly. The donuts were so good and I plan to come back again to get some more for my family. Thank you guys!!

LEGENDARY DOUGHNUTS REVIEWS

Was well stocked and had a good variety of items. They had a good presentation and everything was clean and priced. The lady that waited on us was very polite and when we ask questions she was more then willing to explain what was what. I loved the place and will return for sure when I'm in the area. It wasn't the traditional donuts that come from a factory everything is fresh.

Wow! Wow! Wowza! First of all, the donuts are GINORMOUS! This is such a cool place to go get a yummy treat. We got a variety dozen, and we had family over to share with. Excellent Apple Fritters, and we look forward to visiting again.

I got myself a maple bar and a large iced mocha. Left very happy. The donuts are huge. Very delicious. It'll take me two days to eat it.

PAO'S DONUTS & COFFEE SHOP REVIEWS

My go to place for delicious donuts on the Westend of Tacoma. Cash only and a slow rollout of donuts in the morning, but worth the wait. If you wanted raised donuts, plan to stop by a little later in the morning.

The donuts here are soooooo good! The buttermilk bar is probably the moistest cake I've ever had. And they keep their prices reasonable! Cash only so keep a few dollars in the wallet.

Best donuts in Tacoma. Always make sure I have cash so I I ever crave a donut I can go to Pao’s.
